Homage to Amitabha Buddha of Infinite Light

Alas ! Ignorant beings behave with excitements

Leading to depression .

May they learn about accumulating merit and wisdom

In their daily lives.

May they learn true prayer and meditation.

May they not be reborn in lower realms.

Pancasila five ethic precepts, Samadhi and wisdom – prajna

Are foundation of Buddhist path toward Enlightenment.

Study and practice them diligently.

Unvirtuous karma is easy to generate,

Virtuous karma demands right effort.

Don´t only repeat OMITOFU or OM MANI PADME HUM ,

with empty heart, like lip service.

Have faith in Amitabha Buddha .

Who knows what will appear next :

Morning or next life.

Human life is like candle in the wind.

Very impermanent.

Be aware of impermanence in daily life.

Life is passing. Wake up !

Don´t live in illusion of consume:

Wisdom can not be bought.

It is good to be generous

to those who teach you pure Dharma –

Generosity gradually leads to wisdom.

But don´t be a snob :

Purify your ego with prostrations

to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas ,

renounce samsara.

Don´t cover your inner spiritual

Underdevelopment with illusion of consume.

Be honest and sincere human being.

Be simple and natural.

Inner natural beauty is more important

as artificial one .

Don´t be preoccupied with your body only.

Leave attachment to body and ordinary mind behind.

Don´t demand constant attention from others ,

This is tiring .Turn your attention inward.

Amitabha Buddha is watching you right now .

He sees your lotus roots covered with the mud of samsara.

Have faith and pure devotion to Buddha Amitabha.

Don´t lie to yourself and indulge in bad habits.

Don´t lie to Buddha Amitabha.

He is not only decoration piece on your altar

or picture hanging on your wall.

You can not hide anything from Him,

He sees directly through you.

When you are already committed to your partner,

Develop that good potential and don´t flirt with others.

Don´t desire other men or women.

Don´t indulge in sexual misconduct

And emotional cheating.

Be honest. Be faithful. Keep your promise pure.

Don´t be interested in many men or women -

One is enough.

Purify bad habits :

Don´t eat meat,

Don´t drink alcohol,

Purify your energy .

Go to sleep at proper time ,

Take natural medicine against sleeplessness .

Meditate and pray with pure heart.

Then uttering OMITOFU is meaningful,

Then prayer to Amitabha Buddha is true prayer .

Spiritual practice is cultivation

of good qualities in yourself.

It is not outside superstitious worship,

Burning paper money , throwing sticks for

Good fortune in the temple…

Amitabha Buddha is looking at you right now :

He sees how pure or how deluded you are.

He sees right through your veils

Of unvirtuous karma from times immemorial.

He sees Buddha potential in you and

Causes of good karma from times immemorial.

May the Light of Amitabha Buddha touch your heart-

The best of all gifts is the Gift of Truth.

Be always open to Truth.

Now say with me : OMITOFU.

NAMO AMITABHA.

Amitabha Buddha is hearing you .

Heart advice on the Buddhist path toward Enlightenment

For those with faith in Amitabha Buddha.

Spontaneously arisen Song :

Aspiration to be reborn in Sukhavati

Pure land of Infinite Light and Life.

May these words adorn Amitabha Buddha Pure land

And lead all beings toward accomplishment of Buddhahood.

Afterword :

_/♥\_ NAMO AMITABHA ༀམཎིཔདྨེཧཱུྃ།南无阿弥陀佛

Listen to this devotional chanting .

Learn peace and concentration.

Shakyamuni Buddha said : I show you the Path,

But liberation depends on you.

Feel free to post all related to the wall of this ongoing Dharma event.

Kyabjé Trulshik Rinpoche, the current head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhiasm, entered parinirvana on 2nd September and remained in thugdam for 3 days in his monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal. This morning (5th Sept.) he released his meditation and starting from tomorrow the public can pay their respects…

III.INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY BUDDHIST STUDIES

3.1.Questions and answers

The explanation of right livelihood for Buddhist monks and Nuns :Neither living nor receiving food by astrology , soothsaying , prediction of future events , nor by palmistry , geomancy , dream-reading , charms and spells , or fake divination , nor by any rituals , running errands , or messages , flattering , arranging marriages , funerals or divorces , medical praxis , or by producing art or poetry , or by disputation or debate . this is right livelihood . Knowing right and wrong livelihood as right and wrong livelihood , is right view ; Awareness of presence of right and wrong livelihood , is right awareness . Exchanging wrong livelihood with right livelihood , is right effort .Q.394 – Some of Buddhist monks have done wrong livelihood , will they also reach Nirvana ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSF1RcF2PbI Dharma Wheel –Visual Dharma: spiritual Guidance for 3rd millennium. Right livelihood is part of Eightfold noble path . Right livelihood is not only for Buddhist nuns and monks, but for all people. Of course Buddhist nuns and monks have more ethical and monastic precepts / vinaya to follow on their way toward Enlightenment. Your quotation above is very nice and correct. But in this degenerate age of Kaliyuga it is really difficult to find Buddhist monks who would live according to the right livelihood as described above. Instead we often find monks in Asia , especially Thailand who engage in all kind of supersticious practices : producing talismans, selling talismans, exorcism , charms and spells, fake divinations …all described above. We see Buddhist monks full of tattoos on their backs, some even smoking tobacco . In Tibetan monasteries we see monks debating hours and hours on the monastery courtyards. They have no time for calm abiding meditations, only study and debate, performing rituals and pujas for hours and hours. I have Buddhist monks as friends on Facebook, from South Indian Tibetan monasteries and they constantly ask me to teach them meditation. They ask for blessings . They all live busy lives in monasteries. Buddha Shakyamuni would say : Monks who engage in wrong livelihood can not reach Nibbana. Lets pary for them to turn to Right livelihood soon and proceed on the Path toward complete and perfect Enlightenment.

Q.395 – Can lay- Buddhists do as the above verse ?

Lay Buddhists also must take great care for Right livelihood. They must not earn for a living by engaging in harmful activities, such as producing / selling of wine, meat , poisons (drugs, chemicals). Lay Buddhists = non-monastic Buddhists can earn for a living only by not harming others, by helping others , by virtuous businesses etc.

V. HUMAN RIGHTS & GENDER EQUALITY

Nowdays there are more articles and pannel discussions already about Gender Equality in Buddhism. Buit we need to put these discussions into real life : we must act with Gender Equality in daily life. I was impressed by a Buddhist nun (presented in this video) where she confessed that gender inequality creates obstacles on her spiritual path. This is good insight from the psychological point of view. Tara Tulku Drimed Drolkhar Rinpoche

‎.._/♥\_ NAMO AMITABHA ༀམཎིཔདྨེཧཱུྃ། 南无阿弥陀佛 ..Excellent visualization and explanation, dear Sylvia . Very helpful for Gender Equality and empowerment of women – which is also Millennium Goal of United nations (till 2015). As Gyalwa Rinpoche said in this heartfelt conversation : Women must make themselves equal to men . Women can not expect from men (most of them) to be given equality . As Kyabje Thinley Norbu Rinpo

From the DVD ‘IN CONVERSATION WITH THE DALAI LAMA” Sylvia Wetzel introduces the subject of “Striving for Equality Between Women & Men in Buddhism” for a resp…

Taratulku Drimed Drolkhar Rinpoche ‎…As Kyabje Thinley Norbu writes in one of his Dharma works :” Men are very competitive beings… ” Wise men don´t compete, but see EQUALITY between men and women right now . Those Buddhist with insight into Shunya-ta Voidness * Wisdom see EQUALITY

Johann Gasser i hope, on the road to equality, women don’t aspire to more like men but instead try to educate men to think more like women.

Dearest Taratulku Drimed Drolkhar Rinpoche, I only can say million thanks for sharing your knowledge of Buddhist Teaching to evrybody.The colorful artwork at the back ground of the teaching of wisdom.From the depth of my heart my fullest respect to you.
